Videos or lyrics welcome.

I think if I had to pick a favorite it would be The Mercy Seat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6RML0YHOm8

I had loved Nick Cave for a while and when I saw his cameo in Wings of Desire I knew he was good people. Forward to 2:00 if you don't want to watch the whole thing. That brooding figure on the stage is an Angel and he is listening to Nick Cave's thoughts.

Along with Warren Ellis of Dirty Three, he did the scores for The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford and The Proposition, which he also wrote, and both of which are incredibly awesome movies, and they're both doing the score for The Road, which is one of many reasons why I've been dying to see it.

He is awesome. Been a fan for a long time (and he's incredible live). Grinderman were addictive for me last year, with "No Pussy Blues" etc.

Nick Cave made an incredible performance in Ghosts... of the Civil Dead! Too bad this film is not widely known, since it's very realistic and quite thought-provoking.

The Death of Bunny Munro had an absolutely amazing audiobook too, with a score by him and Warren Ellis.

The last cd I bought was Door, Door - The Boys Next Door, probably the best $14 I ever spent.

I've been meaning to *really* get into him for a while, but my mp3 players always chocked with newer, unknown music. Only know a handful of tracks.

Who would be so kind to suggest amazing tracks in addition to what's on his best-of? (Best Ofs NEVER have the best on there)

The Carny.

These are the two that blew apart my world back in the '80s.

I love Nick Cave. I saw him and the bad seeds about 3 years ago. It was wonderful.

this is one of my favorites of Nick performing Mack the Knife
